  • I also tried with:

     $posts = get_posts(array(
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
         'post_type' => 'contest',
         'meta_key' => 'contest_endtime',
         'orderby' =>'meta_value',	          
          'order' => 'ASC'
   ));

  • Yes its correct, its a time difference multyplied by a number. This is something like a handycap in golf so that different boat can start in the same competition. Why is this not working? I get the numbers into the field in wordpress, i can see them in the backend and the output fields. It should just order by these number which is a nummeric afc field.

  • The special thing is, the nummeric field is a field which is generated out of 2 date fields. I set the start and the endtime of the run and when i save the post (backend frontend) the field contest_endtime is calculated automatically by a function. This is saved in my functions.php:

    function save_contest_post( $post_id ) {
	// vars
	$fields = $_POST['acf'];

	// get custom fields (field group exists for content_form)
	$skipper 		= sanitize_title(get_field('contest_skipper', $post_id));
	$yardstick		= get_field('contest_yardstick', $post_id);
	$startdate		= get_field('contest_startdate', $post_id);
	$starttime		= get_field('contest_starttime', $post_id);
	$startdatetime	= $startdate .' '. $starttime;
	$changetime 	= get_field('contest_changetime',$post_id);
	$changedatetime	= $startdate .' '. $changetime;
	$goaltime 		= get_field('contest_goaltime',$post_id);
	$goaldatetime	= $startdate .' '. $goaltime;

	$startdatetime 	= date_create_from_format('d.m.Y H:i:s', $startdatetime);
	$changedatetime = date_create_from_format('d.m.Y H:i:s', $changedatetime);
	$goaldatetime	= date_create_from_format('d.m.Y H:i:s', $goaldatetime);

	$interimTime 	= ($changedatetime->getTimestamp() - $startdatetime->getTimestamp()) * $yardstick;
	$endTime 		= ($goaldatetime->getTimestamp() - $startdatetime->getTimestamp()) * $yardstick;

	update_field('contest_middletime', $interimTime, $post_id);
	update_field('contest_endtime', $endTime, $post_id);
	wp_update_post(array( 'ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $skipper ));

}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'save_contest_post', 20);

  • No the field is a nummeric field. Just normal nummeric values without any decimals or something.

  • Hey James…. sorry this gets embarrasing for me. But i still have no idea. I need to write a new user into my user database. The fields firstname and lastname exist without acf. I dont know how to create something like: 

    <?php
	
	acf_form(array(
		  'user_id'		=> 'new_user',
	       'user_lastname'	=> 'formfield_lastname',
            'user_firstname'	=> 'formfield_firstname',
            'user_company_acf' => 'formfield_company'
	
?>

    Im so sorry… but this function is essential for my website.

  • Hi James!

    Sorry but im no step further. When i use the code like posted above on my website:

    <?php
	
	acf_form(array(
		'post_id'		=> 'new_post',
		'post_title'	=> true,
		'post_content'	=> true,
		'new_post'		=> array(
			'post_type'		=> 'contact_form',
			'post_status'	=> 'publish'
		),
		'return'		=> home_url('contact-form-thank-you'),
		'submit_value'	=> 'Send'
	));
	
	?>

    I just get a form with a title and a wysiwyg-box. The form i need should have at least the fields user-firstname, user-lastname and some custom fields i added to the users.

    Sorry but i really have no idea how to create that. Should i give you access to my wp backend?

    Thanks Pascal

  • Hey James!

    Thanks for your help, i tried to figure out how this works but im no step further. To add a new post i add the following code to my index.php. I dont know how this should look when i try to add a new user?

    Sorry and thanks for your help!

    <?php
	
	acf_form(array(
		'post_id'		=> 'new_post',
		'post_title'	=> true,
		'post_content'	=> true,
		'new_post'		=> array(
			'post_type'		=> 'contact_form',
			'post_status'	=> 'publish'
		),
		'return'		=> home_url('contact-form-thank-you'),
		'submit_value'	=> 'Send'
	));
	
	?>

  • Thank you so much for your help! That gives me an idea how to solve that problem.
